The Buzz

The commercial quality Smooth 9.65TV treadmill goes big on the features that matter, such the SmoothDrive™ 4.0 HP Continuous Duty motor, the Im-Pression™ Shock Absorption Cushioning System, large 21" x 64" tread belt, hefty 3" rollers, and a 325-pound non-folding fame. This is a big unit with an 82"L x 31.5"W footprint so give it some room wherever you intend to set it up.

The Smooth 9.65TV model comes with 55 workout programs including manual, 1 heart rate control, 3 goal (Time, Calories, and Distance), 20 speed, and 30 speed/incline programs.

The warranty, which is the best in the industry, covers the motor and all parts for as long as you own the machine, and 2 years of in-home labor should you need any assistance.

You likely won’t find any negative reviews on either the Smooth 9.65TV model or the cheaper 9.65LC model. Users and treadmill pros agree that the power, cushioning, spacious deck, quiet operation, program selection, and warranty are major factors in their decision to buy or recommend these fantastic treadmills. The built-in TV is just the icing on the cake.

What We Say

The Smooth 9.65TV is the same model as the 9.65LC treadmill but is upgraded with two key features: the integrated TV screen and 17 additional speed and incline programs over the LC’s 28 programs. If you really want a $3,299 TV treadmill, then this is a nice one but at that price, you are buying a lot of treadmill. If you are a serious runner and addicted to TV viewing, then the Smooth 9.65TV treadmill is a Good Buy that will last you for years. We suggest you take some time to go over your pros and cons of having an in-console 10" TV versus viewing a room TV (which you likely already have) for your workout session entertainment. If you like the model but don’t want the TV, you can save $400 and go with the 9.65LC instead.
